Folk Instruments of the Greek Mainland
In each folkloric area of Greece the musicians play different folk instruments. Some instruments are found in many areas, while some are only found in a few regions. The typical folk orchestra of the mainland includes the klarino (Greek Albert system clarinet), the violi (violin), the lavouto (Greek lute), the defi (Greek hand drum like the tambourine), and sometimes the sandouri (a Greek hammered dulcimer). The typical island folk orchestra usually includes the violi and the lavouto, and sometimes the santouri. In Thrace and some of the Aegean islands they often include the toumbeleki, a hand drum.
In traditional Greek folk music the musicians do not play harmony but instead use heterophony. Each musician plays the melody in a different way (improvising decorations and embellishments). Sometimes at the end of a song, the lead musician will play improvisations (taximia) in the mode of the song, and this excites the dancers to new heights.

TOURING AREAS
Home page: www.acampbell.org.uk
In this section I provide some information about the main cycle touring areas in Greece. Note that I'm a member of Cycloclimbing OCD and the notes provided here reflect this, being biased towards mountain cycling. However, most of Greece is mountainous, so this is fairly appropriate. I don't try to cover all the areas in detail, but if you want further information about anywhere in particular email me and I'll help if I can: substitute "ac"@ for "www." in my website address.
ATTICA
This is the area round Athens and probably most cyclists will merely pass through it on their way to other regions. However, there is at least one impressive mountain area which is worth visiting; this is the Parnitha region north of Athens. (See my Greek pictures for a sample.) Mt Parnitha itself is at 1413m, but the actual summit is closed because of the radar station. However, there is a pass nearby which is at 1260 m. The approach through the outlying suburbs is dreary but once you start the climb traffic is light on weekdays and views are rewarding. The best way of going is via Varibobi (Varibombi) and Thrakomakedones; then there are numerous hairpins as the road goes up the mountainside. The gradient on the climb is about 8% most of the way. There is a hotel on top and a cafe but the general atmosphere is rural, and it is possible to make a pleasant circuit of the mountain top. Parnitha is part of a larger mountainous area and rough roads lead away down gorges from close to the summit. Another climb in the same mountain chain, a little to the west of Parnitha, goes via the village of Fili to Stefani and upwards to a quiet pass at about 500m. The road ends here despite what most maps say but it is possible to continue on roughstuff paths; eventually you reach quite reasonable unsurfaced roads and this affords an alternative route to Thebes cutting out some fairly dull country to the E.

Peloponnese, Greece
Find Accommodation in Peloponnese Natural beauty and historical treasures... If the prospect of layer upon layer of historical legacy doesn’t draw you to the Peloponnese, go anyway. Because – as well as Byzantine cities and Venetian fortresses – the region’s natural beauty is enhanced by citrus groves, snow-capped mountains and Greece’s most untouched beaches. Put simply, you’ll find that it’s the perfect place to relax after the bustle of Athens. L ike the ancient hordes who used to invade the Peloponnese from mainland Greece, you will probably arrive in the region via the Isthmus of Corinth. It was this thin strand of soil that allowed the Peloponnese to cling to the mainland for several millennia after the birth of civilization. The peninsula technically became an island, though, when a canal was cut through the isthmus at the end of the 19th century. As you pass into the Peloponnese, stay overnight in Ancient Corinth (7km from its modern namesake) and visit Acrocorinth – a pastiche of Roman, Byzantine, Frankish and Turkish architectural styles, all perched on a 575m high limestone rock.

It's the personification of everything associated with the Mediterranean : relaxing islands surrounded by azure blue warm waters, nice beaches under a blue summer sky,... But Greece is so much more ! It is there that lies the cradle of Western culture. Its scholars, philosophers, scientists, writers, poets have all contributed to make Western civilisation what it is today; heck, it's the society which gave us democracy. Therefore, it's not surprising that Greece has lots of ancient ruins, still lying there as a testimony of a great past.
It was on the lovely island of Crete, in the Bronze Age, that a for that time great culture developed. The Minoan people built their majestic palace cities centuries before the Great Pyramids in Egypt were constructed, and they still lie there, reconstructed, for all to see.
For a never disappointing holiday, whatever your interests are, head to Greece. I'm sure it'll have something on offer for you too. It's cheap enough, and if you put just a little effort into it, you'll find the people - even in the tourist centres - surprisingly friendly.

Window to Greece Greece Today Environment Environment Greece is famous for its lavish natural environment, unique beauties and variegated landscape, resulting from the interplay of numerous factors, such as the geographical location of the country, the range of climatic conditions, the existence of huge massifs, the coastlines extending to thousands of kilometers, and isolated wetlands/ecosystems hosting an interesting diversity of flora and fauna. The diversity of Greek forests is unique and barely matched by other countries in the world, in relation to the total area of Greece. In the northern regions of the country we encounter temperate forests while in the southern regions thrive tropical palm trees. The variety of Greek forests is the result of the intense relief of the country that is strategically situated at the crossroad of three continents. Perhaps, the fact that the Greek peninsula was not covered by ice during the last Ice Age contributed also to its biodiversity. This caused the migration of northern European plant species to the Greek peninsula where they cross-bred with local varieties and adjusted perfectly to local climatic conditions. The National Parks – protected land areas of exceptional beauty – cover an area totaling 68,732 hectares. The wetland of Prespa , the largest in Greece, is unique in terms of its avifauna and endemic vegetation; the same is true for Mt. Parnetha in Attica, Mt. Parnassus in Voiotia, Mt. Oite in Fthiotis, Mt. Olympus, Vikos-Aoos in Ioannina, and the National Park of Pindos inhabited by a rare species of bears (mainly in the region of “Zesti Koilada” / Valia Calda) as well as in

Introduction Greece is one of the few countries in the world where the folk dances are as alive today as they were in ancient times. Dance has always played an important role in the life of a Greek. It is an expression of human feelings and everyday life. The Greeks danced at religious festivals, ceremonies; they danced to ensure fertility; they danced to prepare for war and to celebrate victories; they danced at weddings; they danced to overcome depression and to cure physical illness. Almost every dance has a story to tell. Dance was regarded as one of the highest forms of art. Plato agreed with his mentor Socrates that every educated man should know how to dance gracefully by which he meant the manly exercises that kept the body strong and supple and ready to do its duty on the battlefield. The Pyrrhic, or weapon dance (a form of mock combat) taken from Crete and perfected in Sparta, was the ideal. The dance, of all the arts, is the one that most influences the soul. Dancing is divine in its nature and is the gift of the gods. Plato

Regions of Greece The Greek peninsula, covering an area of 131,944 square kilometres and containing a population of about 10,000,000, consists of mainland Greece (Attica, the Peloponnese, Central Greece, Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace) and the Islands. Geographically it belongs to Europe since it forms the most southerly extremity of the Balkan peninsula but it also has a special link with Europe through the small entity of the Ionian Islands (Zante, Ithaca, Corfu, Cephallonia, Lefkas and Paxi) which form a chain off Greece's western shores in the Ionian Sea.

Greek Weather The dominant condition of Greece's climate is the alternation between hot, dry summers and cold, damp winters typical of the Mediterranean. But considerable local variation results from elevation and distance from the sea. Generally, continental influences are felt farther north and in the center of the mainland. The main climatic regions of Greece are the mainland mountains, Attica (the southeasternmost part of the mainland) and the Aegean, the west including the Ionian Islands, and the continental northeast. In winter low-pressure systems reach Greece from the North Atlantic, bringing rain and moderating temperatures but also drawing cold winds from the eastern Balkans over Macedonia and Thrace as they pass into the Aegean Sea. The same low-pressure systems also draw warmer winds from the south, creating an average January temperature differential of 4° C between Thessaloniki (6° C) and Athens (10° C). Cyclonic depressions provide the lowlands of the west and the south with mild winters and little frost. Beginning in late fall and continuing through the winter, the Ionian Islands and the western mountains of the mainland receive abundant rain (snow at higher elevations) from the west, whereas the eastern mainland, shielded by the mountains, receives much less precipitation. Thus the average annual rainfall of Corfu off the west coast is 1,300 millimeters; that of Athens on the southeastern mainland is only 406 millimeters. In summer the influence of low-pressure systems is much less, allowing for hot, dry conditions and an average sea-level temperature of 27° C in July. Summer winds have a moderating effect along the coast, but very dry, hot winds have a parching effect that causes drought in the Aegean area. The Ionian and Aegean islands are especially warm in October and November. Elevation has an appreciable effect on temperature and precipitation at all latitudes, however. At higher elevations in the interior, some rainfall occurs year-round, and higher mountains in the southern Peloponnesus and on Crete are snowcapped for several months of the year. The mountains of Macedonia and Thrace have colder continental winters influenced by winds channeled through the river valleys from the north.

We think today of "Greece" as consisting of the modern political entity of Greece. In antiquity, however, the Greek world spanned far beyond the borders of the modern country, which is best to view as the Greek homeland (often referred to as Mainland Greece). Beginning as early as the 11th century B.C., the ancient Greeks colonized the coastal regions of other parts of the Mediterranean and Black Sea, so that by the 6th century B.C. Greek settlements extended from modern Georgia (on the eastern shore of the Black Sea) all the way to Spain. Among the modern countries included in the ancient world of the Greeks are the Ukraine, Roumania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Italy (including Sicily), France, and Spain.
The conquest of the Persian Empire by Alexander the Great (from 334 to 323 B.C.) served to spread Greeks and Greek culture even further into the east, to the banks of the Euphrates river and on to Afghanistan. Still today, communities of ethnic Greeks are to be found in such far-flung parts as Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea the Greek diaspora.
Modern cities that were originally Greek colonies or settlements include Alexandria in Egypt, Istanbul in Turkey, Syracuse in Sicily, and Marseilles in France.
